The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program is a student employment program through which the federal government subsidizes earnings for hours worked in campus employment positions. It is a need-based program, meaning students must demonstrate a financial need on their FAFSA in order to work and earn FWS dollars that will assist in educational and living expenses while attending school. It is not an automatic financial award, but rather an opportunity to earn the award by taking the initiative to find a job on-campus and earn wages.

Working an on-campus job (including Work Study) is real employment. Students earn minimum wage and are paid as they work. The IRS considers these wages earned income. Each student employee will receive a W-2 from payroll (annual statement). You must claim your earnings on your income tax return and your FAFSA application.

To apply for participation in the Federal Work Study (FWS) program, students must complete and submit the FAFSA. Be sure to mark “yes” to work on the FAFSA when you are completing it. Once the FAFSA has been submitted and Evangel receives a copy of it, Student Financial Services (SFS) will determine your financial need to receive FWS, as calculated based on information reported on the FAFSA. The SFS office will then award FWS to all students who demonstrate sufficient financial need. However, due to funding restrictions, FWS positions may not be available to all eligible students. If you have any questions, please contact your Financial Aid Counselor.

If hired after the scheduled New Student Employee Orientation, visit the Human Resources office to complete employment verification/tax paperwork: I-9 & W-4s. If IDs are not presented before the first day of work, the student will not be allowed to work. Student workers only need to complete this paperwork one time, even if they get a different job in a different department next semester. If you have any questions, please contact Human Resources.

Paychecks have to be signed out from the Mail and Print Center in Riggs Hall. An ID must be presented.

Employees are strongly encouraged to have their paychecks directly deposited into a checking or savings account.

You can deposit your paycheck directly into any bank in the 50 United States. You will need your routing and account numbers to set it up online.

Allow one full pay cycle for the system to pre-note and verify the information.

Students interested in directly depositing their paycheck into their student account may opt for Voluntary Payroll Deduction. Due to most students’ financial circumstances changing each year, a form needs to completed and signed each academic year. Please see Robin Horton in HR, Riggs 309E.

Paycheck stubs (earnings statements) and W-2s (annual statements) can be viewed and printed any time from ADP Self-Service Portal.

If you have difficulty viewing the PDF statement, download the most recent version of Adobe Reader.

Students are not allowed to have more than two on campus jobs at the same time or work more than 20 combined hours per week during the academic year.

The average campus job is 8 hours per week.

Jobs begin the first day of classes each semester. Departments are required to designate hours around class schedules. In the event that you need some free time (such as to study for a test), contact your supervisor so an arrangement can be made.

The Federal Work-Study program is a great opportunity to show your responsibility. It’s a truly profitable learning experience that prepares you for the future.
